==Gameplay==
''The Wind Waker'' continues the 3D gameplay from ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Majora's Mask'', but improves upon it. The game features new sword abilities to combat, most notably the parry attack, which allows the player to strike an enemy of guard at a certain time. The game also features a much larger world than the titles on the N64, and has a seamless transition from sailing to being on an island. Unlike the N64 titles, which have very square dungeons, ''The Wind Waker'''s dungeons are more dynamic.

It was released in North America on September 20, 2013. In addition to updated graphics, '''The Wind Waker HD''' includes the [[Swift Sail]], an updated [[Triforce Shard]] quest, and a [[Hero Mode]] like the one in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''.  '''The Wind Waker HD''''s Hero Mode adds a certain level of difficulty to the game by doubling the amount of damage that Link takes from enemies and removing [[Recovery Heart]]s from the game.  A few minor changes made to the game are the change to the [[Pictograph Box]] to allow it to hold 12 pictures at a time, the ability to take pictures of Link, and the addition of the [[Tingle Bottle]], which replaced the [[Tingle Tuner]].

'''The Wind Waker''' is set on the [[Great Sea]].  There are 49 islands in the Great Sea to explore along with enemy [[Submarine]]s and [[Platform]]s. He travels the Great Sea with the help of a talking boat known as the [[King of Red Lions]].  Link can use the [[Wind Waker]] to control the flow of the winds, which allows him to set his course without dependence on the wild nature of the winds of the ocean. When Link arrives at an island for the first time, he can ask a [[Fishman]] for information on said island, as well as a map of the territory and its position on the Great Sea.

==Music==
''The Wind Waker''’s music had an overall Irish theme, with wood winds and string instruments taking center stage in crafting a beautiful sound track for the world to fall in love with. The Overworld theme is replaced with “The Great Sea”. Link does not use an instrument in this game, instead using a conductor’s baton, the Wind Waker. With this Link conducts tunes in ¾, 4/4, and even 6/4.
